"There wasn't an educated man of the time that did not know of that famed Roman leader Cincinnatus and didnt dream of emulating him. That kind of classic education has been assailed & dilluted by these asses in the last 50yrs with their right wing fundie whining but just look at the quality of men it produced back then?"

Absolutely. Now we get Brummers and gregors and blash who cannot figure the difference between 14 billion years and a few thousand. Just mindless, unlettered morons...

That kind of education has been assailed by modern multi-culturalists of the left. Cincinnatus was just a dead white male and therefore worthless.

Hard for us to imagine the esteem and regard this man had earned.

"The great Capitolinus defended him by asking the jury who would go to tell the aged Cincinnatus the news in the event of a conviction. The son was acquitted because the jury could not bring itself to break the old man’s heart.[ citation needed]"
